Meet the team!

Fearless leader, Dr. Jenny, and faithful sidekick Melissa (who is in the process of becoming officially adopted by Jenny's family). Unflappable, silly





Nurse Anne. Acts as nurse practitioner here, as some things you see over and over again. Ringworm, for example. Comic relief, fabulous photographer.



Kathy and Courtney.

Kathy (right) is a professional short-term missionary. Her job, officially, is to organize mission trips for her district, but she has a reputation for going on rogue trip with others (like this one). Cheerleader, "momma."

Courtney (left) is a nurse and she's the bomb-diggity. This is the second of two trips that she didn't want to go on, but she came because God told her to. She has a dry sense of humor that keeps me on my toes, which helps when you're trying to get a urine sample from someone who does not habitually use a toilet. Pragmatist, rock.





Kareem is a pharmacist and has a giant brain. She is the finishing touch on our patient care, and the final say on organizing the closet. Nurturer, Steadfast.





Stefanie is a lawyer and she is a bad-ass. I don't know all the details of her first trip here, but it definitely had "so the journalist was going to Jimani, and I just got in his truck." She is prepared for everything, and doesn't take anything from anybody, but don't let me paint her wrongly - she is kind and generous and I want to be her when I grow up. Treat-fairy, translator.








The Haitian members of our team next; let's see if this loads!
